is Poplar Plains.
The board has taken the school queu
tion into thmr own hands and closed
up the school. which has twenty pupils.
The residents don't like It and are
making decided objections.
The school committee was consulted
but they said that the school would
have to be closed. and that a convey-
ance would be provided to take the
children to the West Snugntuck dis
trict.
Now the children have to gather at
a certain time and place O\OI‘_V morning
and be taken to the West Snugatuck
school
A resident of Poplar Plains told 11
charter of The Sentinel this morning
that it cost the town $330 to run the
school. and that under the new way
they had to pay 3200 for transportation
of the children from one district to the ‘
other. and that the West Sangrutuck
district was so crowded that it was
impossible to seat all those that came
110111 the Poplar Plains district.
'l‘l1lrty~four voters nave signed a pc-

1e held Saturday afternoon, and it is
